I don’t think the end is nigh, but mostly because I think the Phils are going to be finishing the season with a much different set of players than they start it with. Not because I think a team that starts Pierre, Mayberry, Galvis and Polanco can be real good offensively.

Hope I’m wrong, but I think the first couple months of the season could be ugly.

David Wright has back problems, so maybe he is not such a good idea. Who else is out there is a mystery to me.

I’m kind of wondering what the experts are sniffing if they have us at 95. If your number is good (88) we just may make it again.

I still hold that 88 wins can take the NL East this year, and the Phils have that in them. The “experts” are still pegging the Phils in the 95 range.

It does. It is hard to imagine any team losing their three and four holes at our level and not taking a hit (so to speak) in the win column.

They just have some enormous holes offensively. Three great starters and Papelbon is fantastic, but they are going to need some additional pieces, whether it’s guys getting healthy or guys joining the team. 102 wins seems like a long, long time ago.
